"Again, the kingdom of God is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he has found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
Matthew 13:45
The ministry, Men of Promise, meet to reflect upon their experiences of faith and works. Through a process of active listening and dialogue, the men who participate on a regular basis find not only support, but also encounter a deeper meaning in their vocation to serve others. Their discussions often lead to a "pearl” of wisdom, which include creative ways to care for one another and our parish.
San Gabriel Mission is grateful for the ministry of Men of Promise and the time they spend in reflection, and we invite men seeking such forums of prayer and discussion to attend their Saturday morning gatherings. We pray with them in their reflection on the Gospels, and we encourage them always to offer our parish new life. May they continue to discover the pearls of great price!
Sincerely,
Fr. Bruce Wellems, CMF
Former Pastor
